McCain also doesn’t seem to have a coherent message let alone much of a strategy despite securing the nomination three months earlier than Obama.
One year later, and now in the general election, McCain’s troubles are so acute that he recently gave senior adviser Steve Schmidt full operational control of the day-to-day campaign and, effectively, scaled back the duties of campaign manager Rick Davis. The shift in responsibilities came after weeks of Republican quibbling that McCain had not adequately made the transition for the fall.
The frustration is there’s no big theme around which to build a winning campaign, said Steve Lombardo, a Republican pollster. They need a big strategic message that will show the differences between the two campaigns, and allow for a win.

So otherwise, the good ol’ white boys are voting, and that is McCain’s strategy? Or gee…I’m republican, I must vote republican? I don’t know where you are coming from, but blind faith should not be a part of politics.
Still waiting for his platform and strategy. Nothing is shining through so far.
McCain wants to open the borders…give me a break that his strength is national security, JUST because he served in the military. My dad served in the military, and he says that he would make a rotten president.
